Unlocking the Box

I don’t know you

You don’t know me

And what we see

Is all perceived

It’s not based on reality

But I see that box

It’s a heat shaped box

That’s securely locked

Which contains your heart

And my jaw it drops

Because I’ve never needed

Anything like this

I never desired anything more

Than what’s within your box

That heart shaped box

With the secure lock

Which if I take time over

And take stock

I may find away to breach

And open the box and see

Your passionate heart

Which bleeds with love

And which I want to cherish

Oh! So much

So give me some encouragement

That I can acquire your love.
